Located in the western southern part of the empire, Turnaire is a little less prosperous than the splendor of the southeast coast. But for those who live in Turnaire, this is a paradise compared to the other earthy countryside villages.

Durin looked at the busy streets with curious eyes, although he had seen more prosperous and advanced cities in his dreams, but it was only a dream, but now it was real. He flicked the patched backpack on his shoulders and looked around the street excitedly, wondering what he should do first.

Learning culture is inevitable, and he doesn't know a word of the words on the street, which will limit his future development. Secondly, he needs to find a job that can support himself for a short time, without asking for much salary, with or without new water, as long as he can have a simple place to live and two meals.

Walking on the streets of this strange city, while there is a trace of fear in his heart, there is more of a yearning for the future, he feels that the sky in the city is bluer than in the countryside, and even the air is comfortable.

"Hey...... The boy over there!"

Durin followed the voice, and next to a car that seemed to him to be a little funny, but indeed the newest in the world, a man in a bowler felt hat hooked his finger at him.

"Yes sir, is there anything wrong?", Durin walked at once, he did not know exactly what this decent man who seemed to be very rich called for himself, but he did not care much about the call of anything that was new to the establishment of anything.

The man looked Durin up and down, tilting his head slightly. In the back of the car were a couple of boxes, which looked supposed to be heavy, "Help me move them to room 411 on the fourth floor." ”

Durin was stunned for a moment, but soon a smile filled his face, and he put his backpack on his back, walked to the side of the box, and lifted it with great force. The box was heavy, and there was a wooden bracket on the outside of the box, and there seemed to be some liquid shaking inside as it was lifted. The man seemed surprised, and pointed to the small five-story building on the side of the road, signaling him to hurry.

Durin carried a heavy suitcase and went up to the fourth floor a little breathlessly, he was already one of the main laborers of the family when he was in the country, and usually had to do some heavy manual labor. Although these things were heavy, they had not yet been taken into his eyes.

He went upstairs and followed the number he learned on the coin to find 411, which was supposed to be this room. He gently kicked the door twice with his foot, and after a while the door opened a crack, and a somewhat gloomy man looked at him from behind the crack in the door, his eyes a little gloomy.

"It was a gentleman downstairs who asked me to bring these boxes up. ", Durin explained.

The door opened a little wider, and the guy leaned out and looked left and right, and the long corridor was quiet, and there was no sign of anyone. The man only opened the door at this time, and Durin noticed a detail, the guy opened the door with his right hand behind his back and pulled it out.

He looked at the three boxes that Durin was holding in his arms, and there was some surprise on his face, "You have a lot of strength!", and said to get out of the way and let Durin in, "Just put the things behind the door." ”

After putting his things down as he commanded, the guy pushed Durin out of the room with some rough handling, and then Peng slammed the door shut.

Looking at the closed wooden door, Durin was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and went downstairs.

The gentleman downstairs did not leave, and when he saw Doolin, he did not say anything, but took out a one-dollar bill from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand. Without waiting for Durin to thank him, the guy drove away.

Looking at the cars disappearing at the end of the street, Durin whistled, it seemed that making money in the city was not as difficult as he thought. Look, it's only been a little more than an hour, and I've earned a dollar, which is more than the income of ordinary people for three days.

One will always be filled with some kind of pride for the first time in anything, even if it is a stupid thing. While thinking about the dollar he earned for the first time in his life with his own labor, he looked for a place to live next on the side of the road. In fact, what he hoped for most was to find a place to make custom-made leather goods, and the profession of a cobbler would never go hungry, he heard this from the mouth of a drunkard who went to Wild Alfalfa to buy wolf skins.

A wolf's skin worth ten dollars - wild alfalfa There are always coyotes outside the town, and most of these coyotes are attracted by some domestic animals in the town, and they have become the most hated thing by the countrymen. The townspeople would kill the coyotes in traps, then skin them whole and sell them to the leather merchants who come once a month.

In the mouth of the leather merchant, these wolf skins, which can only be sold for ten cents, can be sold for a dozen or even dozens of dollars after the careful production of the leather craftsmen!

Therefore, Durin felt that if he wanted to change the level of his life as soon as possible, becoming a leather smith apprentice was obviously the most direct and fastest way.

In fact, he didn't know that other industries were similar as long as they did well.

Walking around the city, it almost made his head dizzy, he had never seen such a big city, so many people, so many roads and so many houses.

And, of course, cars on the road.

Like the good things that have not happened before, as for the search for the cobbler...... Didn't find it either.

With water from a roadside pump and nibbling on whole wheat bread as hard as a stone, Durin completed his first step in life by spending the night in the city.

In the same way, for the first time, he felt something called loneliness. In a bridge hole, he curled up and fell asleep to the howling wind.

After a few days, he turned around the whole city of Turner and found three leather goods stores, but the owner had no intention of recruiting people. Doolin put his hopes on other jobs, such as tailoring, carpenter, or whatever else seemed decent. I don't know if it's his bad luck or some other reason, but no one wants to recruit him. This also made him understand that there is always an unbridgeable gap between ideals and reality.

After two weeks, he finally found a way to make money from countless failures - car washing.

All you need is a bucket of water, a cheap bar of soap, a handful of vine gourd that naturally dries and rots, and a towel to wash a car on the side of the road. The combined cost of these things is no more than a dollar, and a car wash can be paid at least five cents and tenths. If you wash a dozen or twenty cars a day, won't you be able to make a fortune quickly? According to some of the experiences experienced in the dream world, this is the time to expand your business, hire people, and form your own brand effect .......

Seems to be very funny.

On the evening of the sixteenth day of his arrival at Turnier, Durin walked to the side of the road with a bucket of water. He observed that across the road was the Turnier Theater, where many rich people would come every day to enjoy opera and some burlesque, which was also the most lucrative place.

As the sky grew darker, Turnaire City seemed to wake up from its slumber and come back to life! The city was enough to shock Durin, and it was hard for him to imagine what it would be like to call a "big city."

Didi, the whistle pulled him back into his distraction, and a new Ogham car stopped not far in front of him. A grim-looking guy in a trench coat and top hat got out of the car. He glanced at Durin, patted his car, then took two five-cent coins from his pocket and threw them on the ground, stepping up the steps of the Turnier Theater without looking back.

What an arrogant man!

Durin shook his head slightly, and walked over with a bucket of water, thinking as he went, if one day I would be richer and more decent than him, I couldn't be as arrogant as him!

People, and people, should be equal!
